The project is the first interdisciplinary study of contemporary musical life in Greece that focuses on Western art music and its interface with other spheres of Greek culture, aiming to scrutinize questions regarding European integration. It concentrates on the post-2000 period, which coincides with the phase of economic and socio-cultural crisis in Greece, and analyzes a wide range of musical ontologies and agents (musicians, music halls, performances, audiences, media, bodies of culture) as well as their interaction and discourses.
